Who cares about these stupid things, all we need is those sweet, sweet concurrent numbers of zombies watching netflix on second monitor - it will make a nice graph for the next stakeholder meetings. And throw in a couple of bugs, so they will occassionally need to redo the whole thing, just not too harsh otherwise they will smear us on reddit...
So hauling tritium was gone in a day due to player overload, and sub-surface mining being a good competitor of laser mining is also gone the next day.
Could you perhaps boost massacre or assassination payouts instead? All we've had work on is Mining and Fleet Carriers, where's the combat incentive? I'd like to see Wing Elite Massacre Missions paying out 20m for 10-20 ships. Not 15m for 80.

Whatever they did to BGS, current market values for LTD's and other ores dramatically dropped.
Yay. I can hear the ATC!
So no change there then.
Actually, I was mining in a double LTD hotspot yesterday. I wanted to get figures to compare double and triple hotspot mining. Bit pointless now. If I'm reading the patch notes aright, double LTD hotspots might as well not exist in future, and the triple will be the new double.
Which, if my experience subsurface mining in a double LTD yesterday is any guide, will make subsurface mining a lot less attractive - the mechanic is a fun challenge but goodness, the search for the next subsurface LTD deposit was an exercise in tedium.
100 mill how did you work out 50x4 is 100mill?
Costs me 4mill to fill the tank up, took me less than 5 minutes...
And while we are at it, horrible blurring in rings in VR:
The community has been asking for that for years, and a rebalancing to what other activities paid out for at least a year and a half. Fdev isn't interested.
The fix isn't to take an activity that actually gets people together on the game that they can enjoy in small burst and make it less appealing. I don't know how much this will affect the activity itself but to me the answer shouldn't be "make the most popular activity less profitable" it should be make other aspects more appealing/engaging/profitable and give people the choice on what they want to do.

I'm playing for 5 years now and still haven't seen the epilogue and ending credits rollOf course!
Off you go to play Tetris now...
(one day folk will stop using the tern 'endgame' in a game that doesn't had an ending... But then, maybe once you have had your FC for a month a massive Thargoid "Boss" will show up and dismantle it, and invalidate the insurance so that rebuy is the full 5 billion again)
So fun shouldn't pay? Only annoying repetative boring things should be profitable?? I'm not saying make BH worth 200 mil/h but it should be profitable. Combat is the only thing that hasn't got a serious buff in the last years. That is just wrong.
I'm not sure that nerfing mining was the most pressing and highest priority of all the bugs and problems - or that it was the right way to fix problems. Sure, it was the easiest and fastest!
There was actually an article out there that states exactly the opposite of what you just said. Said how employees of frontier development are one of the happier ones.
Mining was stupid powerful (probably still is), it desperately needed balancing.
Yes, thats the impression i got. With LTD its either a single hotspot or triple hotspot. Since double hotspots have a diminishing effect as it gets further away from teh center of the hotspot. Im not sure how well this was thought through.
Seriously ? Man, if playing games is time spent away from your children I suggest you find a new hobby.
Can't believe what I read on these forums sometimes lol
